I really was trying to be a peacemaker and get him to go back toward home plate. I went out there and things escalated. |
I thought I made some good points. I'm just glad I got to tell my side of the story. |
I thought they were well prepared and I thought I was well prepared and we had good dialogue. I felt good about the way it went. Like all the other candidates feel like they're the guy, I feel like I'm the guy. |
I used to always think in my mind that I would never want to mess with Clark Gillies, and next thing you know, he's out there on the ice, squaring off against Dave Schultz. |
I was just trying to keep things calm and I end up getting in the middle of it myself. I just feel good that I'm going to get to say my side of the story and, you know, that's all I can ask. |
I was just trying to prevent someone else from getting thrown out. It turns out I got thrown out. |
It's been an emotional roller coaster at times. There have been some peaks and valleys. But I'm very confident and anxious to see how it turns out. |
It's unfortunate I got personal with Ed. I'm not proud of that fact. Originally, all I was trying to do was motion Ed off because I knew there was going to be a problem. I knew somebody was going to be ejected, I had no idea it was going to be me. One thing led to another. |
Just a tribute to an outstanding person. |
One of the greatest talks I've ever heard. He just shot from the hip and spoke from the heart. He had a nice message, I don't want to get into it, but it had a nice message to it. |
You could tell he hadn't played a lot of baseball. He was a little bit crude throwing the ball, but he was such a strong man. He had a lot of potential. Clark was so strong it was scary. There were times he hit balls he was like a man-child. |
